As I said earlier this week, “decolonization”, “from the river to the sea” and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide.

Clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suspension.

US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was revealed to have been part of a private Facebook group that has glorified Hamas multiple times in the past as well as after the October massacre.

In 🇷🇺 Makhachkala, locals storm the airport after a plane from Tel-Aviv arrives. They check passports, looking for Israelis. The police don’t interfere.

I am so proud of the Jewish and Persian communities in Brussels proudly standing together against the plague of Hamas terror — funded and directed by the Islamic regime. Together we will overcome, together we will win.

Eitan Kapister 🕯️Murdered with his family by Hamas on his 5th birthday.

May this little boy’s memory be a blessing.

This is Noya, a sweet and sensitive 12-year-old girl with autism who was abducted by Hamas and is being held hostage in Gaza.

She’s just a little girl, ripped away from her mother and now being held in the pit of hell.

Please, please raise your voice and demand that Hamas release the hostages. There is NO excuse on earth to hold children hostage.

cc: @jk_rowling Noya is a huge fan of Harry Potter

Моят герой е мама... През 95та започва да отглежда сама децата (близнаци) си (традиционно бг семейство...) в условията на безработица, решавайки, че не е ОК да е жертва на домашно насилие. И се справи добре - тоя в дясно е топ програмист, а другия добър молекулярен биолог.

We said ‘never again.’ The UK was a safe haven. Now, after the biggest massacre of Jews since the holocaust, British Jewish children are being advised to hide their identities as they walk to school, for their own safety. There should be mass outrage that this is necessary.

Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)

For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.

A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.

Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.

But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.

So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”

I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.

But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.

I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.

900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.

And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.

Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:

Israel.

That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.

Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.

But it’s not my home.

So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.

Israeli first.
Palestinian second.

Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.

Ако видя още веднъж думата "активности" в прес съобщение или събитие, ще си направя сепуко - това е японска активност, още известна като харакири. Може и някоя друга активност да измисля за прекратяване на страданията ми на измъчен филолог.

Мислех да не пиша нищо по казуса Гешев, защото не разбирам от взривни вещества и атентати. Обаче разбирам от реклами и тоя вляво съм го снимал в един клип.

Три преподавателки подават сигнал за нередности в конкурси за доценти в УНСС. Министерството на образованието приема сигнала им за основателен и спира конкурсите. Сега ръководството на университета уволнява преподавателките една по една.

Възраждане щели да викат свещеник да освещава стаята им, защото предния път в нея бяхме Демокраична България.

Имам "лоша" новина- стаята им в предния парламент беше ползвана от нас в по-предните, а не помня да са я освещавали. Значи вече са обладани от демократични ценности 🙂
